  1. Midi Devices By: Christian Ross

  2. What are Midi Devices? • MIDI; short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a set of standard commands that allows electronic musical instruments, performance controllers, computers and related devices to communicate, as well as a hardware standard that guarantees compatibility between them. • 4 Types of Midi Devices • Synthesizers • Controllers • Sequencers • Networks

  3. Synthesizers • MIDI synthesizers are components that generate sounds based on the input of MIDI software messages. Musically speaking, MIDI synthesizers create pitched and/or percussion sounds.

  4. Controllers • MIDI controllers are the MIDI devices that musicians physically manipulate to generate MIDI software messages. MIDI controllers can take the form of almost any acoustic or electronic instrument such as keyboards, guitars, drum sets, drum pads, and even woodwind-like instruments.

  5. Sequencers • The MIDI sequencer is an electronic device incorporating both MIDI software and hardware, which is used for storing and replaying MIDI software message sequences.

  6. Networks • The last logical MIDI device that we'll be discussing is the network itself. A MIDI network is a combination of hardware and software that provides interconnectivity between a group of MIDI devices, such as synthesizers, controllers, and sequencers.

  7. Review Questions • What are the four types of Midi Devices? • What are Midi Devices?
